Second, the main teaching materials (advanced)
Third, grammar and vocabulary textbooks.
Fourth, writing, translation and reading materials
I. Main Textbooks
It is very important to choose the main teaching materials. If you choose well, you will avoid detours, but what I am talking about here is only for self-learners, and all classes are taught or attended by teachers.
When choosing the main teaching materials, we should pay special attention to the following points:
1, the textbook must be a complete system, that is, a complete set from the elementary to the intermediate level of 0 foundation. For example, 1-4 volumes of new Japanese, 4 volumes of standard day for junior and middle school students and so on. Advanced boot can be another system. For example, standard days can be used for beginners and intermediate students, advanced Japanese can be used for Wukan and Kimura, and advanced Japanese can also be used for 5-8.
2. The textbook should be equipped with a better tape or MP3, and it is best to record the texts read by the Japanese. The author suffered a loss here. For example, 1-4 volumes of newly edited Japanese recordings have been downloaded everywhere on the Internet, but the author is not satisfied. Dissatisfaction mainly refers to the male voice (from China) who read the text, and the female voice in Book 4 (the female voice has been changed three times in Book 4) is more satisfied.
Note: (Maybe beginners don't think this problem is very important, but according to the author's related second language acquisition theory, I think learning a foreign language, not a mother tongue, can be cultivated slowly. As long as you keep accumulating, everything including Japanese language sense and Japanese thinking can be cultivated slowly, but there is only one thing that needs to be cultivated as soon as possible, and that is accent. Once the accent is formed too late, it is difficult to speak as idiomatic as the Japanese. The reason is that human vocal organs, including vocal cords, are constantly developing with people's age, and it is quite difficult to change the pronunciation when the vocal organs grow up at a certain age. The vocal organs are completely good, and the accent is difficult to correct. There are also individual differences. Some people 17 or 8 years old can't change their accents, and some people can still handle their accents like learning a foreign language when they are nearly 30 years old. But there is nothing wrong with solving the accent problem as soon as possible. As far as the author is concerned, in a documentary, I once saw a 40-year-old doctor studying in Japan for 1 1 year, and he needed his daughter to help him correct his pronunciation on the eve of his thesis defense. His daughter came to Japan many years later than him, when she was in junior high school. This example is very illustrative. Let's think about the examples around us. No matter where the old man goes, his accent is always the same and will not change, while the accent of a child can change as soon as he changes his language environment. This is a fact. Having said that, what I want to explain is that when choosing teaching materials, we should choose teaching materials with better written records, which can get twice the result with half the effort. But beginners may ask, how to judge the pronunciation of the recording? There are several solutions, such as asking teachers or friends who have studied Japanese for many years for help, or seeing if the written records are read by Japanese, and so on. I recommend New Century Japanese Course Intermediate, Standard Day, New Japanese Course 1-6, Advanced Japanese Wu Kan and so on. , are very good to read. What is absolutely not recommended is a book called New Standard Japanese Progressive Chapter, written by Hui Zhi and written by 38 yuan. The mistakes in the book remain silent, and the people who read the text remain silent, but the text can hardly be read and the pronunciation is quite inaccurate. The cover introduction of this book also says "I can teach you to speak authentic Japanese soon", but it's strange that you didn't teach badly after listening to the text recording. I hope the novice will be careful.
3. It is best to have relevant supporting guidance books in the teaching materials. In addition to explaining difficult words and sentences and the translation of the text, it is best to explain the background, paragraphs and chapters of the text. But it seems hard to see people who appreciate it. I have to admit that in this respect, the level of English tutoring books far exceeds that of Japanese.
(A) from primary to intermediate
1, Standard Japanese for Sino-Japanese Communication, junior and intermediate level, People's Education Publishing House, a textbook suitable for beginners with zero foundation to advanced to level 2. I used 10,000 kinds of linguistics in primary level! I recommend you to go there! Address: /japan.asp? Userid= 1433 I hope it will help you! . In recent years, the new edition of Japanese Language, as a standard of communication between China and Japan, has been published at both the primary and intermediate levels, with updated content, wider vocabulary and better explanation. But I'm just not used to the phonetic notation of new words, so I can learn to use Standard Day, which can replace the old version and download the PDF of the book online.
2. New Japanese (1-4), the main textbook of colleges and universities, Shanghai Foreign Language Education Publishing House, has the advantage that the knowledge system of grammar and sentence patterns is well prepared, but the disadvantage is that some contents inherit the old version of Standard Day, which is the product of the early 1990s, and some contents have lagged behind. The difficulty is higher than the four volumes of Standard Day, and basically reaches the second level of Japanese. It is estimated that the third volume of New Japanese basically reaches the second level. After recommendation, combined with the author's own actual situation, the author takes Shishu as the main teaching material for self-study Japanese. And other newer and better textbooks mainly choose text listening.
3. Modern Japanese 1-6, edited by Hu Zhenping, Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press.
Introduction: "Modern Japanese" is an intensive reading textbook used by Japanese majors in colleges and universities, and it is a reform project of teaching content and curriculum system for foreign language majors in colleges and universities in the 2/kloc-0 century by the Ministry of Education. This textbook closely follows the requirements of the syllabus, highlights the communicative function of language, and enables students to apply what they have learned. While paying attention to imparting basic knowledge, they fully consider the practicality, pertinence and scientificity of the content. Frame design and layout structure are helpful to cultivate students' thinking, creativity and appreciation ability; Pay attention to the organic combination of foreign language knowledge, language training and related knowledge, and handle it reasonably; The content of the textbook is distinctive in times and ideology, which is helpful to the cultivation of students' quality. This textbook consists of 6 volumes: 4 volumes in the basic stage, 2 volumes in the advanced stage, and the other volume is text exercise. The whole set of teaching materials is equipped with tapes recorded by Japanese teachers.
This book is a textbook for four-year undergraduate students, because many universities don't take the main courses in the fourth year. Now many of my classmates are studying in the second specialized school and using this book. The supporting tapes of this book are hard to get, and the copied MP3 can't be seen on the Internet, but this book also has its advantages. For example, there is a translation of the text directly at the back of the book, so the author of this book used it as extensive reading at that time.
4. Newly compiled Japanese course (1-6), published by East China University of Science and Technology Press, edited by Maruyata (Japan).
Introduction: This set of teaching materials focuses on cultivating students' methods and interests in learning Japanese, and through a comprehensive understanding of Japanese culture, customs and customs, the purpose of learning Japanese in an all-round way can be achieved. While passing the Japanese exam, we should pay more attention to the improvement of practical Japanese application ability and cultivate students' open ability. After learning the first textbook, I can master Japanese greetings skillfully; The second textbook is that universities can master basic daily conversations; After learning the third textbook, you can have daily communication; After learning the fourth textbook, you can master the language of the Japanese office; After learning the fifth textbook, you can master fluent conversation and Japanese business terms; After learning the sixth textbook, I can master Japanese interpretation and translation skills and achieve fluent Japanese communication and application skills.
There are still some official materials to be supplemented. For example, the supporting MP3 of this set of books is absolutely OK and worth recommending. This book is well illustrated and pays more attention to Japanese teaching, especially the situational nature of oral dialogue. Compared with other textbooks, the content of the text is close to life and very novel. Another thing to mention is that the first four volumes of this book are from basic to intermediate, and the last two volumes are advanced. If you are self-taught and only want to test Japanese, I strongly recommend this book. It can be said that this set of books is specially compiled for the New World Japanese proficiency test. The first four volumes have counseling books to sell.
5. New Century Japanese Course and New Century Japanese Course Intermediate, edited by Feng Feng, Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press.
This series was originally written for college Japanese as a second language, MP3 is very good, and the female voices reading the text are those in Wu Kan's New Japanese Course and Advanced Japanese, but the readers' names have never been known, which is a pity. The content is relatively new, the text font is very large, and it is very comfortable to read. Marked by pseudonyms, most articles are selected from newspapers.
6. Japanese in New University (2nd Edition) 1-4 volumes, edited by Dalian University of Technology Press and Institute of Japanese Studies of Dalian Foreign Studies University, edited by Cai Quansheng, etc.
In recent years, the textbooks are all freshmen and sophomores. It was recently revised to the second edition. Features are 1 and 2 volumes of main dialogue and 3 and 4 volumes of main reading. I compared it with advanced Japanese and found that the difficulty of volumes 3 and 4 is more suitable for advanced transition. The shortcoming is that the explanation of the text and other related contents is relatively rough, and there are no books such as counseling manuals. Probably related to the teaching arrangement of Dalian Foreign Studies University. In recent years, the advanced part of the third and fourth grades of this book has been published, which is called the first and second volumes of intensive reading of college Japanese. The author will talk about it in the recommendation of advanced textbooks.
7. "Everyone's Japanese" and "Basic Course of New Japanese", co-edited by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press and [Japan] Consortium Overseas Technician Training Association.
There are two reasons why these two sets of books are combined: first, the layout style of the two books is relatively close, and the content is mainly conversational. Second, they all belong to instant application-oriented teaching materials, and there is no systematic middle and advanced series. However, in recent years, The New Japanese Basic Course Intermediate has also been published in time. Advantages: learn to use it on the spot, and learn to use it now. Disadvantages: If you want to learn Japanese in depth at the advanced stage, you are not confident enough to use such books, and you have to change other textbooks. I mean self-study here.
In addition, in recent years, Japanese learning is hot, and in order to adapt to this situation, Japanese textbooks are also showing a situation of easy flowering. As far as I know, the textbooks are as follows:
(1) the comprehensive Japanese1-4 volumes, Peking University publishing house, Peng Guanglu editor (day) three thousand generations of Shouwu.
② Basic Japanese 1-4, Fudan University Press, edited by Xu Minmin. Only the first three volumes have been published so far.
③ New Basic Japanese (revised edition) 1-4 volumes, edited by Shanghai Century Publishing Group (Shanghai Translation Publishing House) and Jane Peizhi.
(4) The first and second volumes of Intermediate Japanese, Shanghai Jiaotong University Press, Chen Chongjun. Only the first volume has been published so far.
⑤ The first and second volumes of Intermediate Japanese are published by Zhao Huamin University Press.
⑥ Advanced Japanese Elementary Course (Comprehensive Edition), Advanced Japanese Intermediate Course (Comprehensive Edition), Advanced Japanese Advanced Course (Comprehensive Edition), Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press, (Japan) Abe, etc.
⑦ New Intermediate Japanese edited by Gu and Li, Jilin Education Press.
⑧ Japanese, Wuhan University Press. Originally, only the first two volumes were published, and now the fifth volume has also been published.
In addition, what are the new century, new concepts, challenges to Japanese (elementary) (intermediate), and so on.
(2) advanced
1, Advanced Japanese 1-4, Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press, edited by Wu Kan and Shinjiro Muraki.
Personally, I think it is a very good advanced Japanese textbook, with supporting tapes and books with answers to exercises. But tapes are not easy to buy, so some people started businesses in Taobao and other places, transcribed the tapes of four books into MP3, and then sold them to people in need. But there are also places for free download, but only the written record of the first book is located in Tudou. I downloaded it first and then transcribed it into MP3 format. Although the author has tapes of four books, it is generally acknowledged that listening to MP3 is more convenient, especially when listening repeatedly. Unfortunately, at present, unless you spend money, the last three MP3s are still not easy to get.
2. A Comprehensive Japanese Course, Volumes 5, 6, 7 and 8, edited by Tan Jinghua, Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press.
The newly published Japanese textbooks for senior students in heavyweight universities should replace the already widely used 5-8 volumes of Japanese compiled by Chen Shengbao. As far as I know, Japanese undergraduates of Shanghai International Studies University have started to use this textbook. There is an MP3 player at the back of the book, which makes me slightly dissatisfied. The reason is that the clarity of MP3 in 5 or 6 editions is good, but the speech speed is a bit slow. It's faster to listen fluently with MP3, but it's only a small flaw. The key point is that the sound quality of 7 and 8 MP3s is very vague, which is suspected of transcription. People who have this set of books can verify whether the author's feelings are correct.
3. Books 5, 6, 7 and 8 of Japanese edited by Shanghai Foreign Language Education Publishing House and Chen Shengbao.
Classic advanced Japanese textbooks. Many people on the Internet mistakenly think that this set of books is a follow-up to the new Japanese book 1-4. That's not true. Shanghai Translation Publishing House published a set of Japanese 1-4 volumes before New Japanese, and Japanese volumes 5-8 are the follow-up of Japanese 1-4 volumes. However, in the early 1990s, 1-4 was abolished after being re-edited in Japanese. However, due to the late compilation of volumes 5-8 of Advanced Part, which is difficult to compile, it has not been re-edited, so many universities continue to use 1-4 volumes of Japanese. It was not until the publication of 5-8 volumes of Comprehensive Japanese Course in recent years that the advanced teaching materials linked with 1-4 volumes of newly compiled Japanese were really released. I have to say, it's a little late Books have matching tapes, but I only have tapes of five or six books, and I didn't buy tapes of seven or eight books because I didn't have enough money when I bought them in those years. It's hard to see them now.
4. Advanced Japanese Intensive Reading Volume I and Volume II, Nankai University Press, edited by Wang Jianyi and Liu Guimin. Nankai has produced many advanced Japanese textbooks in recent years. There is no text read aloud in this book. As a self-taught book, it is really ordinary. It is said that the second edition of this book was published this year. The 1 version has no listening materials, and the second version comes with MP3 listening.
5. Advanced Japanese Volume I and Volume II, Nankai University Press, edited by Zhao Wenhua and Zhang Xiuhua. Advanced Japanese textbooks published in recent years.
6. Intensive Reading of College Japanese edited by Cui of Dalian University of Technology Press. Books published last year. This is a textbook related to Japanese in newly-built universities. Every book has many texts, because every book is a grade, not a semester like Advanced Japanese. But the book is very thin, and there is reading, which shows that the explanation of this book is very brief, and the word list is also very brief. It may be that the editor of the book thinks that he can look up new words by himself after learning advanced, or it may be related to his own university teaching. It is very difficult to teach this book by yourself.
7. Intensive Japanese Reading in Senior High School, Volume I, Volume II and Volume II, edited by Zhao Huamin, Peng Guanglu and Li Qinan, Shanghai Translation Publishing House.
8. Advanced Japanese Course, edited by Higher Education Press, Li, etc. It is also an old textbook, but it is not as famous as Chen Shengbao's Japanese. And there is only one book.
In addition, books such as new Japanese textbooks 5 and 6 and modern Japanese textbooks 5 and 6 are mentioned in the introduction of junior high school textbooks, so they are not mentioned here.
Second, grammar textbooks.
1, a new Japanese grammar course, edited by Pi Xigeng, Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press, is a commonly used Japanese grammar textbook.
2. Common Japanese Language, edited by wang hong and published by Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press, is a grammar book that I personally admire. It is a book that summarizes various expressions in Japanese grammar in detail, and compares the confusing places at the same time, so that readers can clearly distinguish them. It is suggested to study Japanese grammar systematically before learning this book, and the effect will be even greater.
3. Japanese Grammar Course, edited by Wu Kan, Tongji University Press.
4. The New Japanese Grammar (Revised Edition) is the first and second volumes, edited by Zhu, and published by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press.
5. Standard Japanese Grammar (Second Edition), edited by Gu, Higher Education Press.
6. Standard Japanese Grammar, edited by He Jingbin, Dalian University of Technology Press.
7. Japanese Grammar: Syntax and Text Method, edited by Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press and Wu. This book is the textbook of grammar deepening course for senior Japanese majors, and it is explained in Japanese.
8. Required Reading Series for Learning Japanese, Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press, edited by Tao Zhenxiao and Xu Yiping. This series has the following volumes, which can be purchased in a single volume according to everyone's actual needs. There are mainly nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, auxiliary words, auxiliary verbs, conjunctions, compound words, honorifics, Japanese expressions, practical writing, Japanese translation into Chinese classes, idioms, and phonetic notation.
This set of books is well compiled. Personally, I like to explain the grammar series of each grammar point in detail, and the price of each book is not expensive, so it is cheaper to buy it at a discount online.
9. Ma Editor-in-Chief, New Japanese Sentences, Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press.
10, Analysis of Japanese Grammatical Difficulties, Continued Analysis of Japanese Grammatical Difficulties, Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press, edited by Zhao Fuquan. Zhao Fuquan has another book that analyzes Japanese pronunciation, vocabulary and idioms.

13, Japanese Classical Grammar, edited by Peking University Publishing House and Tiejun.

15, Introduction to Japanese, by Pi Xigeng, Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press.
Third, vocabulary teaching materials
A: I have read many Japanese-Chinese dictionaries, but most of them are not ideal. The Japanese-Chinese Dictionary published by Shanghai Translation Publishing House is relatively better.
1, Japanese-Chinese Dictionary, Mechanical Industry Press, edited by Chen Tao. It is this big dictionary that I bought temporarily, and it is passable in all aspects.
2. New Japanese-Chinese Dictionary (Revised Edition), edited by Dalian Foreign Studies University and published by Liaoning People's Publishing House. A thick brick and a nice medium-sized dictionary.
3. As a medium-sized Japanese-Chinese dictionary, The Practical Japanese-Chinese Dictionary, edited by Dalian Foreign Studies University and published by Shanghai Translation Publishing House, has practical value and its role in Japanese learning and practice is equivalent to the Modern Chinese Dictionary in Chinese dictionaries.
4.2 1 Century Japanese-Chinese Dictionary, Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press, edited by Zhang Jiping. A very small book, with about 10000 common words, you'd better carry back words with you.
5. The New Chinese-Japanese Dictionary edited by Shang Yongqing, Commercial Press and Japanese primary schools is a good Chinese-Japanese dictionary so far.
6. The Newly Edited Dictionary of Japanese Loanwords compiled by Commercial Press and Shi Qun is an older dictionary of Japanese loanwords. In recent years, there are many good Japanese loanwords dictionaries, and self-learners can choose according to their own situation and needs.
7. The Japanese Chinese Character Pronunciation Dictionary edited by Han Xiuying and Zhu Hongfa of the Commercial Press is a good Japanese Chinese character pronunciation dictionary.
8. "Handbook of Japanese Common Chinese Characters Pronunciation", Nankai University Press, edited by Zhong.
9. Practical Japanese Chinese Character Dictionary, edited by Wang Youmin, Chinese Dictionary Publishing House.
